EUCLID, Ohio - The Euclid Police Department is investigating two Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department employees who worked at the Euclid Jail, a county spokeswoman said.

The two employees -- a corporal and a jail officer -- have not been criminally charged or internally disciplined, Cuyahoga County spokeswoman Mary Louise Madigan said. But they were transferred to the county jail in Cleveland during the investigation, she said.

Madigan and Euclid Police Department Lt. Mitch Houser each declined to comment on the nature of the investigation. But a Cleveland Scene report says the investigation centers on whether the jail officers misused the Law Enforcement Automated Data System, also known as LEADS.

Euclid police completed their investigation and sent information to the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department for review, Houser said.

Euclid City Jail was taken over by the Cuyahoga County Jail system in 2014, and now serves as an annex to the county jail.
